While many are feeling natures wrath in the forms of freezing temps and blizzard conditions, we are enjoying 70 degree days and mild nights. What can I say? One of the perks of living in paradise.

Our reef bite has picked up with the drop in water temps. We are putting together great catches of hogfish, mutton & mangrove snapper, grouper, cero mackerel, porgies and small sharks. Half day reef trips are a great family activity that puts fresh fish on the dinner table and smiles on their faces. Catch fish & Have Fun!

Offshore we are using a variety of techniques including; live baiting, high speed trolling and deep dropping to catch a variety of fish like; sailfish, mahi mahi, blackfin tuna, wahoo, tilefish, grouper, snapper, cobia and big sharks.

Come enjoy the warm sunshine and make memories that will last a lifetime, with Miss Chief Charters!
